Aiming for a promotion this year to Account Director, anyone happy to share their AD starting salaries, ideally UK based? My company doesn't publish or internally share salary banding so I'm completely in the dark which makes it difficult to gage where it sits on industry average.

Hi there, I'd say it depends on your industry and whether you're in London or regions but it seems going from SAM to AD is approx 5k more. I've been interviewing a lot recently and SAM are typically offered around 45-55 and AD 50-60 with 60k+ being SAD

Hope this helps ! 🙂

There are websites that publish this info.

RepVue, Glassdoor, Payscale.

Look around.

Have you ever taken a career slow down? I am feeling burnt out from COVID and the incremental responsibilities thrown my way over the last 5+ years. I feel like my health has deteriorated. I like my company, but I want to do less. I don’t need to be a HR Director, CHRO, etc. With a career slowdown, I am prepared for a lower compensation and would want decent benefits. Any lessons learned or success stories about career slowdowns?
